How many market fish???

[SteveH2112]

It looks like the numbers say that this is the best season for market sized Bluefin since 1994. How many market fish have you caught this year compared to last year?

Market fish- a Bluefin tuna measuring 73" or greater. ie large enough to be sold or "taken to the market"

Good luck getting replies from the guys who really catch numbers !

Their already dead sold and gone. I don't see what the difference is. I'm not asking what anybody made or where they were caught. The feds know about everyone that's sold so it's not like they can be gotten for tax evasion. I think it's an honest question, maybe not.

i dont see how that could be true in any way, Way more guys doing it and more fish being caught in years past.

Exactly why I am asking the question. The diehards would have the best idea if it got better or there were more boats.

this is why you will not get any answers.

Too bad it's so top secret. I guess an intellegent conversation backed up by actual data from real fishermen and not some suit that works for the government can't happen.
